My gratitude is happily dispersed to my students and colleagues at the University of California, Riverside: their perceptible and imperceptible inspiration is more valuable than they know. Special thanks go to Alisa Slaughter, Dustin Leavitt, Gary Amdahl, and Dan Thrapp, readers whose discernment I could never afford were it not offered freely. To my wife, Nancy Carrick, whose judgment vets everything, this book is dedicated. Finally, salutes to everyone at the University of Massachusetts Press for their care and attention, their impeccable professionalism.
